It’s a risky game. As a new movie, The Drama, shows, radical honesty can also be radically destabilising for your relationship. And do each of our darkest thoughts really need sharing?
Last year, it was Materialists. This year, it’s The Drama. It’s as if, after a long winter, spring’s here for romcom.
